ENGINEERED FOR SHOP PRODUCTIVITY

Everything You Need To Run A Profitable Garage.

Zero bloated enterprise sales calls. Zero multi-hundred-dollar monthly trap fees. Just clean, direct automotive shop operations designed by mechanics for mechanics.

In-Bay Tech Split Timers

Technicians punch into line items right at the lift. Supports multi-tech split percentage allocations (50/50, 70/30) and compares actual punched time against quoted book hours automatically.

Eliminates flat-rate payroll guesswork.

QC Inspection & Safe Undo

1-tap "Mark as Complete" advances work into the shop quality control queue with photo proof. If a technician realizes they aren't done, 1 tap "Unmark Complete" rolls back safely without breaking workflow.

Zero missed bolt torques or fluid checks.

Live Photo DVI Camera

Snap crystal-clear walkaround photos at vehicle intake and attach condition findings directly to specific tasks. Tag health with 🟢 Good, 🟡 Monitor, or 🔴 Blocker badges.

Customers approve estimates 3x faster with visual proof.

5-Stage Parts & Stash Resale

Track part requests across 5 stages: Requested → Ordered → Shipped → Arrived → With Vehicle. Plus, log personal garage stash parts with 1-tap copy-paste Facebook Marketplace & eBay listing generators.

Bin/Shelf locations & margin calculators included.

Instant Crew Provisioning

Add technicians in 5 seconds. Choose between auto-sending a branded invite email with direct ShopOS setup links or setting a temporary password immediately. Control 14 granular permissions per role.

Shop owners never get signed out when adding staff.

Permanent Vehicle Passports

Every service invoice, inspection photo, and dyno sheet is stamped permanently into the GridPass driver network. Clients get a verified build passport that significantly boosts resale value.

Direct client portal with estimate approvals.
